The UK pay gap has widened, with FTSE 100 bosses earning 130 times the salary of the average full-time worker, according to High Pay Centre figures. Median CEO pay rose to £5.06m in the latest financial year, up from £4.66m, the highest level on record. The report says the ratio increased from 124 to 130, driven by rising remuneration and incentives. High Pay Centre calls it a wake-up call and urges regulatory reform and worker-focused governance.
